“This captivating picture book combines adventure with real-life insights, shedding light on the vital work of helicopter rescue crews,” according to the publisher.
In the book, a young girl ventures into the forest with her dog, only to become lost. As her family grows anxious, a Lakota helicopter crew mobilizes to find her.
